Artwork Description

The vivid yellow and blue of the figure immediately lifts it from the densely printed surface beneath. An adult carries a small child, her loosely rendered form layered over historic Cape of Good Hope Government Gazette trade notices.

In Informal Trade, Lisette Forsyth brings everyday human experience into conversation with the formal language of commerce, banking and official record. The aged paper, bold typography and gestural figure give the composition warmth, energy and an appealing visual tension.

This limited-edition giclée print on paper is edition 1 of 5 and measures 30 x 42 cm unframed - an accessible way to collect Lisette Forsyth’s distinctive work.
